Hello everyone,
I have a GP1200R with about 14 hours on it. Today we took it out on the lake for about 3 hours. I normally remove the boat from the trailer, however, a freind removed the boat and failed to check the drain plugs. The Ski ran great for about 2 hours. Then my cousin indicated that the Ski turned off a couple of times. Therefore we towed the ski in and proceeded home. After we travelled about 10 miles I decided to check the drain plugs and sure enough they were left off. We removed the seat and the engine compartment had water. I am sure it had more water as we had been driving for awhile. We took the ski home and removed the spark plugs. The number 2 cylinder had fluid in it. We sprayed WD40 in all of the cylinders many times. Then we turned the engine over to remove any excess water. I did not remove the breather as I do not know how to get the clips off and do not know if I need to do so. We replaced the spark plugs and turned the engine over a couple of times and it started. It ran rough and smoke some from the rear. We removed the spark plugs and sprayed more WD40 down in the cylinders. We replaced the spark plugs and cranked it again. Still not running great, however, it was running. Took the ski to the lake and it seemed to run fine for about 3 or 4 minutes and then it would die. Try to crank and it would crank up and run for a minute or so. Removed the spark plugs and the front 2 cylinders are firing, however, the rear cylinder does not seem to be firing and also the top of the spark plug was grey instead of brown/black. Took the ski home and sprayed more WD40 in the engine. What do you think the problem will likely be?
